Prayers for Safety
Prayer To Keep Our Armed Forces Safe
Father, thank You for the men and women that have chosen to enter the armed forces and to keep our country safe from the many perils and the increasing numbers of dangers, that are so prevalent in the nations of this world.
Protect each one I pray, in Your gracious love and especially those that are having to defend our country in a hostile environment. Keep them safe from harm, and from the dangers that inevitably shadow the lives of those who follow this career path, and return them I pray, back to their countries, homes and families.
And Lord, more than anything else I pray that You would make Yourself known to those men and women in the armed forces that do not know You as their Saviour. Convict each one of their need of the Lord Jesus, and may many come to a saving faith in Him, so that their eternal future is secure in this volatile world. Thank You, Father, and into Your hands I commit each one. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Prayer Of Protection For Those Facing Dangers At Work
Heavenly Father, there are many hidden dangers for so many in their work environment and many that are forced to accept work in some high risk work positions. Many of these jobs are so that the rest of us can receive the various services that we find so necessary in our highly technological age.
Protect those men and women that deliberately place their lives in jeopardy in order to help and service the rest of the community, soldiers, pilots and policemen and women, firemen and fishermen, builders and construction workers, those that work in nuclear power plants or other industries like the electrical engineering.
Lord, thank You for all the men and women who each day are facing some sort of danger. I ask Your loving protection around each one. Lord I lift each one that does not know You as the Saviour and pray that in a wonderful way You would not only protect them from the various dangers that they face but also draw many of them into Your kingdom. May many of them come to a saving faith in the Lord Jesus, in Whose name I pray,
Amen.
Prayer For Safety From Evil Today
Dear Heavenly Father, You are my rock and my fortress, my hope and my shield. You are the One in Whom I rest and in Whom I trust, and I pray that throughout this coming day, You would encircle me in Your loving care and continue to protect me and all those I love, from the wiles of the enemy.
Protect us from the dangers of the day and the evils of the night. Thank You that You have promised to deliver us from “the snare of the fowler, and from any deadly pestilences”. Thank You that You are able to “cover us with Your feathers,” and lift us up on eagles wings. Thank You that You are our shield and our rampart.
Forgive me Lord, for those times when my faith wears thin and I try to sort things out in my own strength. Help me to place my complete trust in Your willingness and ability to save and protect us from all that would harm or destroy. Help me Father God, to learn to rest in You from this day forward, knowing that You are in control of my life and that the lives of those I love are safe in Your hands. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Prayer Of Thanks For God’s Protection
Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for the promise that none can pluck us out of Your hand and none can pluck us out of Your Father’s hand either. Oh Lord, this world seems to be getting more dangerous and more violent with each passing year, but I do thank You that no matter what happens to us in this life, we are safe in Your hands for we have eternal life in You, simply because we are Your children.
Protect us Lord Jesus, and keep us safe as we go about our daily duties in this world. Lord, You have placed each one of us in the location where You would have us be and although we are surrounded by dangers and difficulties, we pray Your loving protection over all Your children.
Keep us ever safe in Your hands and use us Lord to give encouragement and care to others in dangers and difficulties. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
Prayer For Travellers
Loving Lord, I pray Your grace and protection over all those that are travelling today, by road or rail, air or water or even by foot, for there are many dangers that can cause accidents, so many of which could be prevented. Protect each person that is having to travel today and bring them safely to their destination.
Keep those that are transporting others or who in charge of other people’s journeys alert and focussed on their duties, and prevent any untoward accidents from occurring, so that lives may not be lost unnecessarily.
Lord, for those that are travelling that do know You, I pray that they would know Your constant presence with them. For those that do not know You as their Saviour, I ask that in Your grace, You would draw close to them and give them an opportunity to come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ, perhaps through a conversation they have with someone sitting next to them, or through a bill-board that may cause them to reflect on the truth of the gospel.
Lord, thank You that every journey is in Your hands. Watch over me today as well I pray, and all those that I love in our respective travels, and draw us ever closer to Yourself. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
